I watch and see which ones melt faster and what ones are slower.
Once i am done i carefully put out the flames.

Potential Problems And Solutions

Safety Or Environmental Concerns

Have to keep the fire under control.

The Black Cherry candle burnt the best.

Conclusion

The Black Cherry Burnt the best. I think it burnt the best because its scent was the strongest so it used more chemicals.

Discussion

I wanted to know if scents of candles affect the burn rate.
The scents i used were Black Cherry, Apple Cinnamon, Cucumber Melon, Ocean Breeze, and Vanilla.
